HarperCollins has quietly pushed back the publication date of Gov. Andrew Cuomo's book "All Things Possible: Success and Setbacks in Politics and Life," which is now scheduled to hit stores and online retailers on Oct. 14.

This is the second monthlong delay for the governor's account of his "rise, fall and rise in politics." In July, HarperCollins moved the book's release from Aug. 5 to Sept. 16, a week after the upcoming Democratic primary, and ascribed the change to "production schedule changes." The new date is just three weeks before Election Day.

A spokeswoman for HarperCollins didn't respond to a request for the reason behind the second delay. The Wall Street Journal reported the company plans an initial print run of 200,000 copies.

Cuomo won't handle audiobook duties for "All Things Possible," which is expected to weigh in at 528 pages: That task will go to veteran reader Michael Kramer.

"The Contender," a Cuomo biography by Michael Shnayerson, is scheduled for release Feb. 3.
